Hi there ,
 
1st of all , Happy New Year To All Of You Out There
 
Now...
 
Yesterday i went to buy the package of suse 8.1 pro cause i was quite
 
pleased of the linux in general , i was with mandrake 9.0 before and
 
before go and buy the package of suse 8.1 pro i got the live eval 1st to
 
check if it's ok at my laptop which was working okay
 
So yesterday finaly i went to get it.I came home unpatient and the smile
 
soon went off my face as i realized that before even writing the files the
 
system halted , after a lots of tries and lots of ways of install
 
I've noticed that the ehci-hcd probe drove my laptop to halt completely so
 
next time i pressed cancel and kept going with the instalation which went
 
great....
 
Till the reboot,when the system was loading went to the screen with the
 
OK 's the final i saw was
 
"Starting hotplugging services [net pci usb_ with the cursor there blinking
 
 
That's it.
 
 
It's almost 24hours of trying and ahm really pissed about it
 
I think i just throw 90$ away , i even tried to call the guys here in italy
 
and they hanged up the phone , i called in germany maybe they were
 
closed i dont understand german anyway
 
I've sent mails too after the activation...
 
Please advise , ahm really desperate and i'll appreciate if you help me out
 
 
The irony is that they have my laptop as certified as the suse 8.1 pro is perfectly working ... usb2.0 halts the system ... ? but my laptop uses usb2.0
 
And i spent 3000euro on this one

So far so good ,
 
During the installation progress i pressed cancel to the ehci-hcd only and i probed all the others
 
So the installation was finished
 
Then at the OK's screen halts at the :
 
Starting hotplugging services [net pci usb
 
Sooooooo After a thought i tried to execute :
 
init=/bin/sh and when i took prompt i tried :
 
su root and tried to execute YAST to block the services from being loaded that makes my system halt
 
But it's RONLY so i can't do a thing
 
Any ideas ???
 
(I tried to fsck and then umount/mount -rw , but still no dice)

boot options for the installation
 
hwprobe=-c03:*:*
 
Then vim /mnt..../YaST2.firstboot ( usb=yes to usb=no )
 
USB will be disabled till the problem will be SOLVED cause it's still unknown
